Article Synopsis
- The study compared the biomechanical performance of a dynamic hip system with an anti-rotation screw against a control group for fixing Pauwels III femoral neck fractures in synthetic bone.
- Ten synthetic bones were divided into two groups (test and control), and fixation strength and rotational deviation were measured through various displacement phases.
- Results showed that the test group exhibited significantly higher mechanical resistance compared to the control group, indicating its effectiveness in preventing fracture failure.
